Root Cause

The 'compile' configuration is deprecated since Gradle 4.0 and removed in Gradle 7.0; use 'implementation' instead.

generic

中文

'compile' 配置自 Gradle 4.0 起已弃用，并在 Gradle 7.0 中移除；请改用 'implementation'。

Workarounds

  1. 95% success Replace compile with implementation 
    dependencies { implementation 'com.example:lib:1.0' }
  2. 90% success Use api if the dependency needs to be exposed transitively 
    dependencies { api 'com.example:lib:1.0' }

Dead Ends

Common approaches that don't work:

  1. Reverting to an older Gradle version 60% fail

    This is a temporary fix and prevents using newer features or plugins.

  2. Using compileOnly as a direct replacement 80% fail

    compileOnly does not include the dependency in the runtime classpath, which may cause NoClassDefFoundError.
